Summarizing the turmoil that has once again roiled the West Bank and the Gaza Strip over the last couple of days, a Forbes.com headline screeched: ‘Six Palestinians Killed In Three Separate Incidents By Israeli Forces Over 24 Hours.’It is undoubtedly a compelling headline. Israeli forces came under a brutal assault when they attempted to carry out the arrests, with Islamic Jihad confirming that its members opened fire and detonated explosive devices. Another Palestinian man killed during a counterterrorism raid in Jericho on Wednesday morning was hurling explosives at soldiers when he was shot. Second, Skipworth should perhaps go back and double-check his facts about the July Jenin raid because it was 12 people who died and every single one of them was claimed by a terrorist organization.
